The Ballast Point Bloody Mary, Goliad Brewing debut spice up the Faust spring trade show

The recent spring trade show at Faust Distributing Co. on the east side drew a big crowd. The wholesaler converted part of its warehouse off I-10 into a private beer tasting and invited local retailers and other guests in to sample its growing craft line.

New beers were poured by reps from several breweries, including Shiner, Austin’s Independence Brewing (signed by Faust a year ago), Louisiana’s Abita, Oregon’s Deschutes and Kansas City’s Boulevard.
